Ace, Marines, Gates of Justice, Sea Kings ### Summary Page 14: Bon Clay finally answers with a tearful, enormous "THANK YOU!!!" Luffy and the others freeze in grief and shock. The prisoners answer back, thanking Bon and crying his name, while Bon tells Luffy, "Make sure you save your brother!!!" Luffy, holding the Den Den Mushi, calls out "Bon-chan!!" as the ship passes through the gates. Bon's farewell is not a request for rescue; it is a final push, sending Luffy onward toward Ace with all the force of their friendship. Page 15: As the Gates of Justice close behind the ship, the prisoners keep calling Bon Clay's name. Bon answers faintly through the fading signal, while Marines order the ship sunk and the gates continue shutting. Once the gate is closed, the connection dies. Outside, the Marine ships are left behind, and someone says, "They escaped...!!!" The ship has crossed beyond the barrier, while sea creatures churn in the water and the prison staff watch helplessly. Bon Clay's sacrifice has succeeded.
